Stick memory USB
Hi, I'm new on FreeBSD not on unix. I want to mount automatically an usb-stick memory into my machine ? I get some problems. Need help. - /etc/devfs.rules add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator Actions: 1) ls -al /dev/da* ls: No match. 2) I Plug into the USB port, the ImageMate 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer (SanDisk) 3) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 4) I put the memory stick into the Card reader's slot 5) ls -al/dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 the /dev/da2s1 isn't here. 6) mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1/mnt/cleusb/ mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: No such file or directory 7) fdisk/dev/da2 *** Working on device /dev/da2 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 4 (0x04),(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT ( 32MB)) start 64, size 62656 (30 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 979/ head 1/ sector 32 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED 8) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 9) mount_msdosfs /dev/da2/mnt/cleusb mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2: Invalid argument The command mount_msdosfs terminated abnormally but created in the /dev directory the /dev/da2s1 file. 10) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 142 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2s1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 11) And now i can mount and umount the stick memory. Please, can someone explain to me why, when i plug the stick memory into the slot of the card reader, the system doesn't create the /dev/da2s1 file in the the /dev directory. And why i use the mount_msdosfs command, this command creates /dev/da2s1 file in the /dev directory. Thank you for your answers ! Sorry for my english.

You're trying with your devfs stuff to create the file, but you have to realize it's a device representing a filesystem, not just a file. What you want to read is the mount and fstab man pages, mount to find out how to mount your memory stick, and fstab to figure out how to get it to happen automatically. The devfs stuff is all mistaken, I think, you want that when you want to change permissions or make softlinks of devices, not to create them in the first place, least that's how I';'ve always used it, and I know very well that the correct line in /etc/fstab WILL automount your memory stick. I could give you the exact line, but I think you would rather look that up yourself (I know I would). - /etc/devfs.rules add path 'da*' mode 0660 group operator Actions: 1) ls -al /dev/da* ls: No match. 2) I Plug into the USB port, the ImageMate 12-in-1 Card Reader/Writer (SanDisk) 3) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 4) I put the memory stick into the Card reader's slot 5) ls -al/dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 the /dev/da2s1 isn't here. 6) mount_msdosfs /dev/da2s1/mnt/cleusb/ mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2s1: No such file or directory 7) fdisk/dev/da2 *** Working on device /dev/da2 *** parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are: cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are: cylinders=30 heads=64 sectors/track=32 (2048 blks/cyl) Media sector size is 512 Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1 Information from DOS bootblock is: The data for partition 1 is: sysid 4 (0x04),(Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT ( 32MB)) start 64, size 62656 (30 Meg), flag 0 beg: cyl 1/ head 0/ sector 1; end: cyl 979/ head 1/ sector 32 The data for partition 2 is: UNUSED The data for partition 3 is: UNUSED The data for partition 4 is: UNUSED 8) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 9) mount_msdosfs /dev/da2/mnt/cleusb mount_msdosfs: /dev/da2: Invalid argument The command mount_msdosfs terminated abnormally but created in the /dev directory the /dev/da2s1 file. 10) ls -al /dev/da* crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 136 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da0 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 138 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 140 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 142 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da2s1 crw-rw 1 root operator0, 141 25 mai 14:11 /dev/da3 11) And now i can mount and umount the stick memory.

Are you sure Chuck? The devfs rules stuff is to allow non-root users to mount removable media isn't it? I followed the instructions at http://gphoto.sourceforge.net/doc/manual/permissions-usb.html - the FreeBSD-specific stuff is near the bottom of the page - but I have *exactly* the same problem as the OP with my mobile phone. It is detected as da2 and da3 (phone and memory stick - mine's a SCSI system so da0 and da1 are the HDDs) but only the top-level device nodes (/dev/da[23]) are created. I can try to mount /dev/da3 until I'm blue in the face and it always fails but as soon as I attempt to mount /dev/da3s1 it fails first time but succeeds the second time because the /dev/da3s1 device node gets created on the first (failed) mount attempt. It doesn't matter whether I have an entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/da3s1 or not, it stills fails, but creates the device, on the first attempt. Maybe something has changed? The page I linked to above refers to FreeBSD 5 but I'm running 6.3-STABLE.

Hello Mark! Mon, May 26, 2008 at 05:40:50AM +0100 you wrote: It is detected as da2 and da3 (phone and memory stick - mine's a SCSI system so da0 and da1 are the HDDs) but only the top-level device nodes (/dev/da[23]) are created.

I had a similar problem with my card reader. AFAIU the problem with those is that they don't report media change events; the system gets to know what's there only when it tries to access it, one way or the other. This might be of help both to you and to the OP: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2007-January/138907.html It's not beautiful, but it works. -- DoubleF No virus detected in this message.
